Today, we tried @funkycones_tupelo for the first t Today, we tried @funkycones_tupelo for the first time! Besides rude customers in line, it was a great experience! Leave your privilege at the house, okay y'all? This is a new business, the employees are doing a FANTASTIC job, and the treats are delicious! 🍦I had the "Berry Kiss", which is an original waffle cone with strawberry ice cream, strawberry syrup, Fruity Pebbles, whipped cream and strawberry Pocky. The strawberry was so flavorful, and the waffle was fluffy and sweet! 🍦Mark had the "Oreo Goodness", which is a chocolate waffle cone with cookies and cream ice cream, Oreos, mini marshmallows, condensed milk, and chocolate Pocky. Loved the marshmallows and the slight chocolate flavor of the puffy waffle! 🍦Great job, Funky Cones! We'll be back to try more flavors, for sure! ❤
You're invited to follow along with our beekeeping You're invited to follow along with our beekeeping adventure at @bluespringsbees ! 🐝 30,000 honey bees moved into their new hives in our back yard on Tuesday. We're learning as we go, and we're having a blast! 🐝 We've put so much work into the research and preparation for these little fuzzy butts, and we're so excited that they're finally here! 🐝 We'll be sharing our process of building the hives, renovating our little shed into our "honey house" (work space for bottling honey one day), and more! 🐝 Later this week, we'll be checking on our 3 queens to make sure the worker bees have released them from their cages. 🐝 Follow along! It'll "bee" fun!

#ad Today, I'm teaming up with Adidas to tell you #ad Today, I'm teaming up with Adidas to tell you about my favorite travel shoes! The Adidas Grand Court sneaker is my go-to for comfort and durability during long travel days. They've been with me all over Buffalo, New York and Niagara Falls, Disney World, and even hikes through the woods close to home. I've easily walked over 200 miles in my first pair, and they're still going strong! . You may have seen me wearing them on our zipline ride to Niagara Falls, paired with a dress at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, posing at the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, or at Mize Mill Waterfall in Alabama. . I also love the Adidas Racer Lite Adapt shoe. I have a pair in gray. They don't have laces, just slip right on! They'll be the PERFECT airport shoe when travel begins again! . I'm also excited about the new Stan Smiths featuring Disney characters. The Mike Wazowski shoes are THE cutest! And they'd be perfect with all my Monsters accessories! (Y'all know I dress like this all the time, right? Not just on Disney trips! 😆) . Head over to https://bit.ly/2Pnflyo (affiliate link) to check out the latest styles and pick up YOUR next favorite pair of travel shoes!

#ad Is this not the most gorgeous desk plate ever? #ad Is this not the most gorgeous desk plate ever?! (And not just because it has my name on it 😉.) My friends over at @nametagwizard sent me this beautiful custom acrylic desk name plate, sparkly name tag, and durable luggage tags. . I've always wanted a desk plate with my name on it.

I'll be wearing my new name tag on future press trips, and I can't wait to use these luggage tags (name and address info is on the back of each)! 🧳 Absolutely dreaming of the day when it will be safe to adventure the world again! ✈ .

The ground is messy from the melted ice and snow.. The ground is messy from the melted ice and snow... perfect for this little polar bear to get his feet muddy... but things are warming up and slowly turning green here in Mississippi!
Yesterday, we were treated to this gorgeous sunset Yesterday, we were treated to this gorgeous sunset. Today, we have another dreary Mississippi winter day. The snow flurries are coming down, and our yard is one huge sheet of ice. . For those of you wondering, no this is definitely not a normal thing here in Mississippi. We get snow MAYBE one day a year and usually a few days of treacherous ice. Because it happens so very rarely, the state is not prepared for winter weather. So, when those days happen, the whole state basically shuts down. And then we go "sledding" on any random thing we can find. 🤣
